Screed from a Mob Boss

Donald Trump told a rally in Concord, New Hampshire, last Friday night that Nikki Haley had failed to secure the Capitol and use the (imaginary) reinforcements that he had offered to provide during the rioting of January 6th, 2021.   He was, of course, trying to use one of his old stand-up routines against former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, but Trump was confused and using his old Pelosi material on Haley.  Haley had no role in government of January 6th, 2021, and was not at the Capitol or even in Washington, DC, when the Trump-fueled insurrection was taking place, yet in discussing the violence, Trump used Haley's name four times.  He was confused BIG TIME.

Nikki Haley, who had been almost pleasant to Trump of late, and had promised to pardon him for his involvement in January 6th if she was elected President, decided to take advantage of Trump's major prolonged brain fart and used it to question his "mental fitness" for office.

That was bad enough.

But then, when she lost the New Hampshire primary to Trump on Tuesday, she tweaked him again by refusing to drop out of the race and saying instead that she was in it for the long haul.  She said that one primary and one caucus should not speak for the entire Republican Party which is spread across fifty states and a couple of voting territories.

And Trump, in his usual fashion, exploded.

In a posting to his personal Truth Social account on Wednesday night, Donald Trump, who seemed to be channeling fictional mob boss Vito Corleone, made this very unstable threat:

"Anybody that makes a 'Contribution' to Birdbrain, from this moment forth, will be permanently barred from the MAGA camp.  We don's want them, and will not accept them, because we Put America First and ALWAYS WILL!" 


Well, sieg heil, good buddy!  Who knew that MAGA was some sort of exclusive, members-only club  and Donald Trump was in charge of membership.  I certainly didn't, but, in hindsight, the group's only obvious purpose seems to be to cheer on Trump and send him money.

But from that moment forth any of you stink-o, rat-bastard commies who send in even a dollar to Nikki Haley are going to are going to have your red MAGA ball caps snatched from your heads, your secret MAGA decoder rings wrenched from your fingers and never even stand the slightest chance of being allowed to lick Donald Trump's golf balls.  You will be totally eradicated from the movement.  Vito Donald has screed decreed it so.

I lean decidedly Democratic in politics, but after Trump's big-mouthed threat, I am tempted to send Nikki a couple of dollars - just to make sure that I, too, get "permanently barred from the MAGA camp."  

Does disbarment from MAGA come with a nice certificate, or a proclamation, or something that I can hang on the wall and show off to my friends?

Stand tall and tough, Nikki, and fight every day - all the way to the convention!
